Late for the Olympics

Decided to make my Japan Rail pass work for its money on its last day and returned to Tokyo from Kyoto via Nagano, just to see the mountain scenery (I figure it's my small contribution to balancing the number of Japanese who do the same thing in Banff). It was impressive.

Nagano is also famous for apples, apparently, given the number of apple-themed products available in the shops. You could buy four in a nicely-printed paper bag for about 10 bucks (Y880).

They were pretty big apples, though.

I had an Olympic experience today in St. John's. The Torch ran through Memorial University campus while I was having my lunch. I'll send you a picture.
